Last time I crossed Ontario I (randomly) stopped in Grafton, ON for refueling, and discovered a lovable little hamlet on Highway 2. Reminded me a lot of home (i.e. the rural Eastern Townships of QC) for Loyalist/Victorian architecture.
If I did not always end up being in a hurry on those cross-Ontario trips I would LOVE to drive on Hwy 2 the whole time

I'm pretty sure what I saw was pretty typical... one random village among plenty of others like it.
